Making new 430/500 auto 1st clutch springs

Michel, thanks for the info. I'll look through the parts lists. Maybe create a reference spreadsheet of part numbers vs. the models (420,500, 430)...

Thanks fran...k,. Yes, I would think 2nd and 3rd gear stuff is the same 500 vs 430. Its the 1st gear stuff that gets the abuse so Husky probably made changes.

Michel,
I'm a noobie to the forum. Was directed here by a fellow vintage racer. I have an '87 430 that I would love to ride, and would feel a lot more comfortable doing so if I had some spare parts, specifically first gear springs! Do you still have any available? Is so what would be the cost and how would I go about it? My email is captainvette@comcast.net if you'd like to contact me directly.
Thanks, Lamar

I have an '84 500 AE that is missing everything on the mainshaft (including the shaft itself). I recently bought a complete '86 430 AE from a guy in California. I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's not a 'runner.' I was of course considering grafting all of the 430 parts into the 500, but perhaps you and I could make a mutually beneficial trade(?). You can reach me at home (I'm retired) on 253-277-2514 (Kent, WA). Let me know.

Cool, Carl.
I had a running 500 AE that I sold. What a beast. The 500 lower end I have is a spare I had.
Yes, lets talk. I'll give you a ring.
